• The total area of modern industrial and logistics premises of class “A” in Slovakia reached more than 3,373,000 sq m in the first quarter of 2022. It increased by 17% year-on-year and the construction boom continues.
• The total leasing activity in Slovakia in the first quarter of 2022 reached more than 153,000 sq m, of which net take-up accounted for 125,000 sq m. Most new leases have been signed by logistics companies, followed immediately by e-commerce/retail companies.
• There are currently 23 buildings under construction with a total leasable area of almost 395,710 sq m, of which 39% is in the Bratislava region. Speculative development projects in Slovakia are in decline due to great uncertainty in the construction materials market and are being replaced by pre-signed projects with clients.
• In the Bratislava region, almost 160,000 sq m is under construction, but tenants' demand for vacant space is still higher than the supply. The overall vacancy rate fell to 4.93% in the Bratislava region and to 6.34% in other regions due to high demand from the manufacturing and logistics sector.
• The war between Russia and Ukraine will affect food production in the future, which will be reflected in the prices of all other commodities. The conflict threatens global wheat supplies, as Russia and Ukraine are among their largest producers in the world. This will further indirectly affect the already high inflation rate in the Slovak Republic.

Processing without consent
In the interest of guaranteeing the strongest possible protection for the privacy of data subjects, every data subject has the right to raise an objection requiring that his or her personal data be processed solely for the most urgent legal reasons, or that this data be blocked. For more on the data-subject rights surrounding the processing of personal data, see article 1.7 of this Information.
Processing on the basis of consent
If you do not provide the controller with consent to the processing of personal data for the purposes mentioned above or to a certain selection from among these purposes (Processing on the basis of consent), this does not mean that the controller has refused to provide you with products or services as a consequence of this.
The controller has acquired personal data directly from you, and this primarily from mutual communication, forms you have filled out or contracts you have entered into. Outside of this, personal data comes from publicly accessible sources, indexes and registers such as the commercial register. The controller has also obtained personal data from third parties that are entitled to access and process your personal data and with whom the controller cooperates, and further from information on social networks and the internet that you have yourself placed there.
The controller processes the following categories of personal data to ensure your satisfaction arising from the proper fulfilment of obligations, to ensure the fulfilment of legal obligations, to enable personalised offers of the products and services of the controller and for other purposes named above:
a) basic identification data – name, surname, address of residence and national personal ID number;
b) contact information – telephone number and e-mail address;
c) information on the utilisation of the controller’s products and services – this is information on what products you have arranged with the controller and how you use them today, including product configurations etc.;
d) information from mutual communication – information from e-mails, from phone-call recordings or other contact forms;
e) invoicing and transaction data – this primarily means information that appears on invoices, about invoicing conditions agreed upon and about accepted payments;
f) geo-location information – information from the web browser or mobile applications that you use.
Your personal data will be accessible to the above-mentioned controllers and personal data processors, as well as to the authorised employees and representatives of 108 AGENCY Group.
Your personal data will be processed until such time as you withdraw your consent or it will no longer be needed in connection with the above-listed purposes (i.e. the period for which the contract lasts or the controller’s legal obligations exist), but in no case for a period of longer than 10 years.
After this period expires, all data will be irreversibly destroyed. The controllers will preserve your personal data in the scope necessary for the purposes of proving that their actions are compliant with the applicable legislation.
The controller will take all steps needed to ensure that the processing of your data is performed properly and above all securely. You are guaranteed the rights described in this article, which you can exercise towards the controller.
The controller’s provision of all communications and statements concerning the rights you exercise is, per se, free of charge. If, however, your request should show itself to be clearly unfounded or inappropriate, primarily due to being a repeated request, the controller is entitled to charge an appropriate fee that takes into account the administrative costs connected with the provision of the information. In the case of repeated application of a request for the provision of a copy of the personal data being processed, the controller reserves the right to charge an appropriate fee for administrative costs for this reason.
The controller will generally provide you with the statement and any eventual information on measures accepted as soon as possible, but within one month at the latest. The controller is, however, entitled to extend this deadline by two months when needed and with a view to the complexity and quantity of your requests. The controller will inform you of this extension, including a listing of the reasons for it.
The right to information on the processing of your personal data
You are entitled to request from the controller information on whether or not your personal data is being processed. If your personal data is being processed, you have the right to request from the controller information on, above all, the controller’s identity and contact information and their representatives and employees responsible for personal data protection, on the purposes of the processing, on the categories of the processed personal data, on the recipients or categories of recipients of personal data, on the authorised controllers, on the list of your rights, on your options for turning to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection, on the source of the processed personal data and on automated decision-making and profiling.
If the controller intends to process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which it was acquired, the controller will provide you with information on this further purpose and other relevant information before such further processing. Information offered to you in the framework of the application of this right is contained in this Information; this does not, however, prevent you from requesting it again.
The right to access to your personal data
You are entitled to request from the controller information on whether or not your personal data is being processed, and, if it is being processed, you have access to information on the purposes of this processing and the categories of personal data in question, the data’s recipients or categories of recipients, its preservation period, information on your rights (the right to request from the controller a rectification or erasure; restriction of processing; the right to raise an objection to this processing), on the right to lodge a complaint to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection, information on the source of the personal data, information on whether or not automated decision-making and profiling is taking place and information concerning the procedure used, as well as the significance and expected consequences of such processing for you, and information and guarantees in the case of the transfer of personal data to a third country or international organisation. You have the right to be provided with a copy of the processed personal data. However, your right to acquire this copy may not infringe upon other persons’ rights and freedoms.
The right to rectification
If, on your part, there has been for example a change of residence, telephone number or other fact that can be considered personal data, you have the right to request from the controller a rectification of your personal data. You further have the right to supplement incomplete personal data, through the provision of a supplementary declaration.
The right to erasure (the right to be forgotten)
In certain specifically defined cases, you have the right to request that the controller erase your personal data. These cases include for example the case where the processed data is no longer needed for the purposes listed above. The personal data controller deletes data after the expiration of its period of necessity automatically; however, you can turn to them with your request at any time. Your request is then subject to individual evaluation (even despite your right to erasure, the controller may have obligations or legitimate interests in retaining your personal data), and you will be informed in detail on the handling of your request.
The right to restriction of processing
The controller processes your personal data in no broader extent than is absolutely necessary. If, however, you should have the sensation that they are e.g. reaching past the above-defined purposes for personal data processing, you can submit a request for your personal data to be processed exclusively for the most essential of legal reasons, or for this data to be blocked. Your request is then subject to individual evaluation, and you will be informed in detail on the handing of your request.
The right to data portability
If you wish for the controller to provide your personal data to another controller, or to another company, the controller will transmit this data in an appropriate format to the legal subject that you define, if no legal or other significant barriers prevent the controller from doing so.
The right to raise an objection to automated individual decision-making
If you have determined, or believe, that the controller is processing your personal data in conflict with the protection of your privacy and personal life or in conflict with legislation (upon the assumption that your personal data is processed by the controller on the basis of a public or legitimate interest or is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, including profiling, or for statistical purposes or purposes of scientific or historical interest), you can turn to the controller and request that they provide an explanation or you can also raise an objection directly towards automated decision-making and profiling itself.
The right to lodge a complaint to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection
At any time, you can turn to the supervisory authority with any initiative or complaint you may have concerning personal data processing; the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection is this authority, and it has its headquarters at Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, Czech Republic, and its website at https://www.uoou.cz/.
The right to withdraw your consent
